Totally "that mom" tonight-- baking GF at 10pm

I found out at 9:30 tonight that snack tomorrow at DS' playgroup would not be GF. Yes, I have store-bought GF cookies in the pantry, but all the other kids will be eating homemade brownies. I want him to have something just as delicious and special... and I want to show the other moms that you can bake GF. Soooo... I was "that mom" throwing together a batch of cookies at 10 pm. Ok, it was a mix, but they're still homemade and yummmy! Anyone else done this late night scramble to provide an allergen-free alternative for their kiddo?

  • Oh, yes, many times. I'm sure she will love her treat that you are baking for her!!

    On a sidenote, I used to lots of late-night baking parties where I would cook up a ton of pancakes, muffins, breads, pastas, etc., to freeze and pull out for individual meals. Days like this: https://www.themagicofmama.com/2010/04/baking-baking-and-even-more-baking.html 

    Fun, fun, fun as an allergy mom. :)

  • good mama!  yes a few times ;)  my son isn't in school or playgroups yet but i have made a banana bread at about 10pm just before bed so he can take it with him to a birthday party in the morning. 
  • Good work!

    I have done it once.  My daughter has eggs for breakfast every morning and she is getting so tired of it, so I tried to make her blueberry muffins once.  I had to use her Neocate formula for the milk replacement, and applesauce to replace butter, and wheat flour.  Tasted like shiit to me, but she loved it!

  • I've done that too.  Even when I have cupcakes, cookies, and muffins in the freezer I'll still stay up late to make the brownies if that's what everyone else is having.  :)

  • Many times!  Especially for birthday parties.  I'm always "that mom" bringing a cupcake for DD.  So, I usually make a bunch of batches and freeze them so I always have one on hand, just in case something comes up at the last minute!

  • yep!  unfortunately the brownies turned out burned on the edges and raw in the middle...so he had boxed cookies for the party anyway....
